England head coach Eddie Jones freshens up his starting lineup for Sunday's Six Nations clash with Italy, making as many as eight changes for the game in Rome.

Last weekend, England went down to Scotland at Murrayfield, immediately putting Jones's side on the back foot as they bid to reclaim the trophy back from Wales.

In a team which will again be captained by Tom Curry, the experienced Jamie George is among the players to be handed an opportunity against the competition minnows.

Joe Marchant, Harry Randall, Jack Nowell, Will Stuart, Alex Dombrandt and Charlie Ewels have also been brought into the starting 15.

Luke Cowan-Dickie is a notable absentee after his error swung the momentum back in Scotland's favour last week, while veteran scrum-half Ben Youngs also features among the replacements.

England team: Steward; Malins, Marchant, Slade, Nowell; Smith, Randall; Genge, George, Stuart, Ewels, Isiekwe, Itoje, Curry, Dombrandt.
